Justin Bieber may be in a bit of hot water after getting into an alleged scuffle with a paparazzo.

A photog is claiming he got into a physical altercation with the 18-year-old "Boyfriend" crooner after attempting to snap photos of the Biebs while he was out and about in Calabasas, Calif., with girlfriend Selena Gomez Sunday afternoon, E! News has confirmed.

According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, the photog alleged he was "physically battered" by Bieber, and complained of pain and requested medical attention when police arrived on the scene.

The photog was taken to a local hospital, treated and released.

Bieber's rep has not yet responded to requests for comment.
